BSC Young Boys vs FK Crvena Zvezda - 28/11/2023
3933
On Tuesday night, Young Boys and Red Star Belgrade go head-to-head in gameweek 5 of Group G of the Champions League.
Young Boys
The Swiss team heads into this game on the back of a rare poor domestic defeat, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat at title rivals Zurich.
The loss means the home team has lost two of their last three games in all competitions.
Raphael Wicky’s team have struggled for results in Group G of the Champions League.
A 3-0 defeat at reigning European champions Manchester City last time out means they are winless in the group, having picked up just one draw.
So far, their one point in the group came in a 2-2 draw against Red Star in Belgrade in the reverse fixture. The best Young Boys can now do is qualify for the Europa League by finishing third in the group.
Red Star Belgrade
The Serbian outfit has been in decent form lately, winning three of their last four games in all competitions. Last time out, they recorded a 2-1 win over Vojvodina.
Like their hosts, their domestic league campaign form greatly contrasts their form in the Champions League.
Barak Bakhar’s team’s only point in the competition also came in the reverse fixture in the 2-2 draw.
However, Red Star’s poor run of form in European football’s elite competition hasn’t only started this season, as they have failed to win in their last six Champions League games while conceding at least two goals in each of the six goalless matches.
They have also lost six of their previous seven away games in the competition.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a high-scoring draw, which would leave the fight for third-place opening until gameweek six.
